    Medal of an antitank unit in North Africa

    Hello,

    now I can post ma first picture in this forum. I started to collect Italian medals of North Africa 40-43 aprox. 2 years ago to study this.

    The first medal I want to share is a medal of a antitank unit of the 7th Bersaglieri regiment that was attached to the mot. Trento division.
    I hadn´t found an entry of an antitank company "106" in my sources.
    Or what do the "106" mean?

    On the another side there´s the date 1.3.1941 where I mean it´s the date of arriving of this unit in North Africa.
    Around the medal is a inscription which means "flying to the victory".
    The manufacturer of this medal is Boeri from Rome.

    I have never seen a medal for such a small unit again.

    Ciao
    Timo

      Dear Timo,

      I think is the 106th motocycle company Bersaglieri, aggregated
      at the 7th Bersaglieri regiment. the motto "flying to the victory"
      is an bikers idea.. aha ha
      with friendship
      Raff

      P.S. WELCOME in the association members
      "six italians, dressed in rather unusual diving suits and equipped with materials of laughably little cost have swung the military balance of power in the Mediterranean in favour of the Axis".
